This morning the nyger feeder is bustlinr with activity. With only 6 posts, each is filled with and eager American Goldfinch, and a half dozen more wait in the wings for an opening to appear. They are louder than they have been in the last few weeks and there at least three times more of them. Other than there being more than last week I notice that they are beginning to get gold-er, not quite the bright and flashy colors yet, but more and more yellow-ish.
They are adamant that no one else get a chance at the feeder. They have fended off the six House Finches that bully the feeding station. The Downy Woopeckers are steering clear of the feeding frenzy. Even our bold little Black-capped Chickadees are minding their own business.
Their twittering songs fill the backyard today and we are enjoying the show. Soon black and yellow will dominate the feeders.
